Frankie Valli has denied reports that he has retired from live performance after his brother, Bobby Valli, announced that he would stop performing. The 92-year-old singer said on Instagram that he was “not retired”, while his representative also described the claim as false, creating conflicting public accounts of his plans.

The reports follow Valli’s cancellation of the rest of his 2026 dates in May so that he could focus on his health. At that time, his representative said he hoped to return to the stage in 2027; Bobby Valli’s statement had instead suggested that his brother was entering retirement with family support.
